Hi. I am Jon. I go by jonbug. I have met with no success even with getting the simplest attention. I don't think I am looking "out of my league" but i still come up empty handed. Perhaps you all have some insight.




Other than your parents, who has been the most influential person in your life and why?


MY brother taught me so much and it wasn't all macho bull sh**




What is the most important quality that you are looking for in another person?

I prefer a strong woman. Strong but calm and peaceful.


Other than your appearance, what is the first thing that people notice about you?

I am sneaky smart. That is to say, I am quiet about things but make intelligent moves that surprise people.


What is the ONE thing that people DON'T notice about you right away that you WISH they WOULD?


I have good insight. I'm not just a "worker bee.


What are five things that you "can't live without?"

My music

My son

My dogs

My Camera

NASCAR


Describe the last book that you read and enjoyed. What was it about? What did you like most about it?

It had to be "The Stand" The unabridged version. The rich and voluminous characters wrapped me up in their little, but hazardous world. I thought of the book even when I could't read it...like a soap opera.


Is there any additional information you would like your matches to know about you?

I value a chance to care. I love volunteerism. I work with delinquent youth and the elderly.


What are you most passionate about?

Photography of nature.


What are the THREE things for which you are MOST thankful?

A well adjusted young man for a son.

The values my parents instilled in me and I thus instilled in my son.

The ability to listen, read between the lines and compromise.


How do you typically spend your leisure time?


I love hiking with my camera and finding places I have never been before though they are near home. Amazing things can be found within 10 miles from a person's home. Then I must have a picture of it. Usually a unique landscape.

What she said. Even the most hardcore of NASCAR watching, beer drinking, deer shooting, fish catching, steer wrestling cowboys know better than to mouth off like that around a woman they'd actually like to date.

Agreed. And I can have a foul mouth myself when I'm comfortable around someone

This whole profile says to me "I'm not serious about this". A lot of the answers are vague with no detail and/or with jokes in them, so you come across as not being serious at all about this. There is also very little sense about who you REALLY are as a person on a deeper level than what your hobbies and interests are. I would also include somewhere in there how old your son is. At your age he could be a toddler, or he could be nearly grown, and that will matter to a lot of women (including this one).

well Jonbug, i can honestly say that you need ALOT of work here yet. Your profile tells me not a whole lot about you and you use 2 - 10 words to answer your questions. put some effort into it and you will see some results. please repost an updated profile once you have something we can work with and I'd be happy to help.

Agree with others....clean up the profile with your language as well as spelling and grammar.

Also...get rid of the 'cute' nickname of Jonbug....it sounds like something your mom calls you which is not a way to attract women who want to date you.

Your profile unfortunately is very bland and doesn't have much to say. I am exactly your age and I would pass based on the way it is now.

"Sneaky smart"..."strong woman", "good insight"....all of these are just words that really don't mean much. Be more descriptive.

The part about describing the book...I'm not sure what the last sentence means...and I can't see comparing a Stephen King novel to a soap opera....

Many of your answers are too short and seem 'clipped'....It doesn't feel natural. Think of it as you would having a conversation with someone.

Also...you may want to upload the photos you are using to your EHA 'album' for people to view and see if there are any that are making women pass on you.

Thank you all. I was worried about telling too much.

I have work to do.

But how do I change my username, jonbug??

Your screen name here has nothing to do with your eharmony profile or account.
Agree that the spelling, grammar and language needs some clean up.
Use each question /section to highlight a different aspect of yourself /interests /lifestyle.
Elaborate on your photography, volunteering and other interests, that women can envision as being positive.
"sneaky" is not a positive descriptor...consider rewording that section.
"strong woman " is...what? a huge weight lifter?.. a battle axe?.....be more descriptive of what this vague term means to you.
Overall good profile..just reword a bit and elaborate on some of the good points...Good Luck

If you smoke as seen in your last picture that will be a big turn off as well. A lot of women will pass on smokers, not all, but a lot will.
